Arcosanti & Paolo Soleri
27 years ago, the Cosanti Foundation began building Arcosanti, an experimental town in the high desert of Arizona. When complete, Arcosanti will house 7000 people, demonstrating ways to improve urban conditions and lessen our destructive impact on the earth. Its large, compact structures and large-scale solar greenhouses will occupy only 25 acres of a 4060 acre land preserve, keeping the natural countryside in close proximity to urban dwellers. Arcosanti is designed according to the concept of arcology (architecture + ecology), developed by Italian architect Paolo Soleri.

Monona Terrace
It was nearly 60 years ago that Frank Lloyd Wright drew the plans that eventually inspired the Monona Terrace Convention Center. Today it is a reality but not without fights, intrigue and vision worthy of an Olympian battle. If you can't visit Madison Wisconsin and see this final monument to Frank Lloyd Wright then visit this website.
